Michone knows enough about Andrea's group to put together that the prison gang is the same Andrea was with at the farm house. She's going to fill in Rick and they'll form a rescue party which will head to Woodbury by the end of the episode, leaving us at a cliff hanger. Andrea will not find out about Glen's capture yet.

Sounds to me like you know an awful lot about the subject. Why don't you have a seat?

I said rape- not pedophilism.

Nothing pisses me off as using rape as part of entertainment.

You must not have enjoyed The Last House on the Left.

/it really was a hard movie to watch.

I wouldn't have sought it out. It's one of those cheap tricks authors use to show how horrible the bad guy is. And it's always end used in Fantasy fiction as the ultimate degradation of heroic female character.

There's a certain level of cartoony you can get away with with violence, because its far removed from reality. You can't really do that with rape.

I knew a woman who stopped playing in a role playing game because the DM insisted making his fantasy word "real" with lots of rape.

Trigger warning

I always think what the pitch for such a movie is like: "So, next we have a long, agonizing rape scene, filled with the screams of our buxom protagonist. But it won't be exploitative at all and rather quite tastefully done." ???

I remember one indie film maker was really happy that he filmed a graphic rape scene because it "was real. I'm not letting the audience off."

Look, there are stories that deal with rape rather well- but when it's something that is meant as entertainment- it becomes obvious that its just laziness.

hubiestubert:How sad is it, that the video game had a deeper plot and more involved characters?

My daughter got me to download the game, and while the gameplay was basic, the plot and characters had me hooked. And for the most part, the characters in the game were at least consistent...

SPOILERS FOR EPISODE 1 OF THE GAME

Did anyone else decide to let Carley die because she was simply too stupid to let live? She was a good shot and all, but the scene where she couldn't figure out that you needed batteries for a radio to work, followed up by her putting the batteries in backwards when you gave her some pretty much sealed her fate for me. I just decided that she was a liability.

Not to mention that being a good shot doesn't help all that much because the shots will draw more walkers than going in with an axe or screwdriver, and eventually you are going to run out of ammo. I just figured that Doug was the better choice to save, but apparently only 29% of people agree.

/Haven't played the other episodes yet, so I don't know if saving Doug instead will work out or not.

The last episode before the mid-season break isn't till next week, iirc.
